all the lavers have different qualities, like shape and willow grade, but what bats are generally the thickest? not the best but the thickest?

One of the factor the thickness of the bat would depend on the weight wouldn't it?  Heavier the bat, more room wood so thicker the edges.  But I also think grade 1 willow are not as dense as the other ones, since grade 1 is softer than grade 2 etc...so it would weigh less but have more wood. 

Again I could be wrong but from my very very limited knowlegde from reading the forums and from my other online readings that's my take on it.

Also guys I will post some new pics of the bat, lets see if you like em.

I have just recently purchased a Laver & Wood Carbo with a oval handle. My bat is short handle standard blade with a slight bow. 8 grains and weighs 2'11".

It is by far the best bat that i have owned, i used to have a Slazenger V1200 pro and it leaves it for dead. The only thing that took a bit of getting used to with the carbon tube in the handle is when playing a big shot, especially one in the air, is it feels as though the blade isn't is the right position when about to hit the ball. But after a few nets i got used to this and love it now.

I was never a big hitter just a nudger that picked up the occasional boundry but with this bat the ball just cracks off. Cant wait to use it in a game

One more question fortylicks, which delivery comapny did your laver come with? e.g parcelforce

i have a question for henjam and forty licks:  i know u guys are big fans of L&W and i do own one myself i used in a twenty20 match yesterday (had it for a year tho never liked it or used it) anyway decided to give it a shot in the nets and it felt great ....anyway my question is if i were to order a heritage bat can i make any special request as to how it is made or are they mass produced bats 

American cricket, is this the same Laver you said you didn't like in a earlier post back on page 1. What madeyou change your mind and do you have any pictures?

Thanks for that American cricket. Any chance you could post a few pics of that bat? And Hades, have you got your pics ready yet?

I will have the pics in a day or 2.  The bat LOOKS different than the pics I posted before so lets see what everyone thinks of it.  Also we have a 20-20 coming up so I guess we will find out about the performance of the bat as well.  One thing that I have noticed, from the little use of the nets that I have with the bat is, bat speed.  Maybe it's in my head but this bat generates more bat speed than my previous ones and it has a very good middle.  But again I will find out more once I get to use it a bit more just had 15 mins with it in the nets last weekend.

can anyone see those or is it just me? if not i will delete them and he can try again

yay! I said lavers were becoming more popular! and no I wish I could see them, but no

There are too many bat threads around again at the moment - it was to avoid this sort of thing that Sledger created the sticky for bat discussion.

Therefore most of the other bat threads are going to be closed tomorrow morning, so if you want to make a final point or move the discussion to the sticky, this would be the time to do so.

they won't be deleted, just locked
